Charlton Kings is a substantial village on Cheltenham's eastern edge that's grown into something with real character of its own.
With close to 10,400 residents, it's large enough to have proper amenities—good local shops and pleasant residential streets—but it still feels removed from Cheltenham's busier atmosphere. The location works brilliantly if you want a base for exploring the Cotswolds; you get direct access to the surrounding countryside while being just minutes from everything Cheltenham offers. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy village life without sacrificing convenience, making it particularly useful if you're planning to spend a few days in the area rather than just passing through.
